A pair of Art Nouveau French walnut display cabinets by P.Dumas. Identical to one shown at the Paris Exhibition of 1900, France.Ombelle pattern.
The Exposition Universale, Paris, 1900 was a landmark event in the history of design and decoration. The florid Art Nouveau style, being championed by Emile Galle and Louis Majorelle and the L’Ecole Nancy, caused a huge impression at this exhibition. The concept of art as a united form, blending painting with architecture and interior design,was a fundamental principal to the movement. Cabinets such as these superb examples were designed to fit in with the panelling of an interior room design so that they blended with the architecture. Extravagance of form and quality of manufacture were typical of the best pieces from the time and these extraordinary cabinets epitomise the best of the period. Not a lot is recorded about this exponent of Art Noveau – P. Dumas – but we do know that an identical cabinet was shown at this important exhibition and it may well be that this pair were commissioned by someone who saw the recorded cabinet at this exhibition (restorations) C. 1900

In our storeroom we have a vast selection of 18th and 19th Century English and French dresser and buffet racks.
Suitable to replace a missing rack or very fashionalbe to hand approximately 8 inches above a sideboard, this modernises your dresser or just as a hanging wall rack on its own.
If you look through these photos and imagine the lower sections being removed to have more of a recatngular clean line look. In the case of a timber panelled back the panels can be removed to modernised the rack.
Sizes vary from 4ft – 7ft wide and can look fantastic with a mix of modern and old on the shelves. One of my favorite mixes is green majolica plates and also with pewter charges and tankets.
